FInishing sprint

Ukrainian Olga Slioussareva (Carpe Diem Itera) took the fifth stage of the women's Tour de France in a hard-fought sprint that provided a fitting climax to a fast, attacking day's racing.

Slioussareva, the former holder of the 200m track record, had launched an attack 48km into the 140km stage, but was not able to gain more than a minute on the restless peloton, and with 20km to go allowed herself to be caught. After that, the attacks came thick, but as the peloton approached the finish it was clear that Slioussareva's earlier efforts hadn't wearied her, and she was able to hold off Germany's Regina Schleicher (Michela Fanini Record Rox), beating her to the line by a tyre's width.

With both riders well down on GC the result makes no difference to the main leaders, with Joane Somarriba (Alfa Lum R.S.M.) still looking vulnerable just 50 seconds ahead of Zinaida Stahurskaia (Gas Sport Team)

Tomorrow's sixth stage covers 84.7km from Roche-Sur-Yon to Bressuire (Deux-Sèvres)
